Redgram (Cajanus cajan L.) is subjected to the attack of various insect pests. The most serious insect pest is Heliothis armigera Hub., whose attack persists from vegetative upto pod formation stages. Being a polyphagous pest, it causes devastating losses in several other field crops like sunflower, fieldbean and bengalgram. Recent research on the management of this pest is concentrated on the biological control using entomopathogenic microbes, which finds a major role in the IPM.
